Pros
  • Great learning experience.
  • Constant motivation from the team to achieve goals.
  • Great support from mentor.
  • Well-defined projects.
  • Clarity on project scope and work.
  • Impactful work with known reach.
Cons
  • Working extra hours.
  • No flexibility to choose which team and domain to join (Actually, this was kind of a pro, as it helped me learn something I never would have otherwise).
  • Less networking opportunities with people outside the team and other interns.
  • Too much focus on work.
  • No great perks other than compensation.
Advice to Management
  • Keep asking questions to peers.
  • Try to network with employees outside the team (you will not get many opportunities).
  • Familiarize yourself with the tech stack at least within the first 3 weeks of the internship.
  • Ask for feedback constantly.
  • Have fun; don't just keep working.
